Wren Exposes How The GOP Senate Leadership Fund Has Failed To Support America First Candidates

Monica Crowley and Caroline Wren analyzed key Senate races, particularly focusing on Arizona and the role of the Senate Leadership Fund (SLF) led by Mitch McConnell. Crowley criticized the SLF for failing to support Arizona candidate Carrie Lake, stating, “It’s actually appalling particularly 20 days out.” Wren emphasized the competitive nature of the Arizona race, highlighting that Chuck Schumer’s political action committee was spending significantly against Lake, indicating the Democrats’ commitment to defeating her. Wren noted, “Chuck Schumer is spending more in Arizona against Carrie Lake than he is to help retain his incumbents.”

Wren expressed frustration with McConnell’s allocation of resources, pointing out, “Mitch McConnell hates Ted Cruz,” suggesting personal animosity influenced funding decisions. She argued that the SLF’s focus on certain states, like Montana and Ohio, was misguided, as other critical races, like Arizona, were being neglected. Wren maintained optimism about the elections, urging support for candidates like Lake and Ted Cruz, saying, “If Mitch McConnell is not going to help them, then guess what? The War Room Posse will.”

The conversation underscored a belief that electing candidates like Lake would disrupt the establishment, as Wren stated, “There is something so lethal and dangerous about sending a United States Senator to D.C. who will not answer to PAC money.” Both Crowley and Wren shared a vision of a unified Republican effort to secure wins in the upcoming elections, focusing on grassroots support and direct contributions to candidates.
